This means that you need to take the following into account: S For a KLM flight to European destinations, check-in closes 40 minutes before departure; for a KLM flight to intercontinental destinations, check-in closes 60 minutes before departure (with the exception of Paramaribo). S Check-in closing means that you must ensure that you are checked in and that you have a boarding pass before the indicated closing time for check-in. This means that you should leave sufficient time to find your way around the airport and account for possible long lines at the check-in desk. S To facilitate a smooth, comfortable check-in, we recommend that you keep to the recommended check-in times as indicated. Depending on which airport you will be departing from, you will need to calculate between 2 and 4 hours. S If you check in after the indicated check-in deadline, you run the risk of losing your reserved seat and therefore not being allowed to board. You will also lose any rights to “denied boarding” compensation. S If you are waiting in line and expect that you will arrive too late to check in, please let one of the KLM employees know. Check-in times per departure airport Departing from: Recommended check-in time: Check-in deadline: Amsterdam You can only check in on the day of your departure, starting at 6 a.m. Domestic 2 hours before departure 40 minutes before departure Within Europe 2 hours before departure 40 minutes before departure Intercontinental 2 hours before departure 60 minutes before departure Europe 2 hours before departure 40 minutes before departure USA & Canada 2 hours before departure 60 minutes before departure Caribbean 2 hours before departure 60 minutes before departure Middle East 2 hours before departure 60 minutes before departure Exceptions: Tel Aviv 3 hours before departure Damascus 3 hours before departure Amman 3 hours before departure Teheran 3 hours before departure Beirut 3 hours before departure Abu Dhabi 3 hours before departure Dammam 3 hours before departure Dubai 3 hours before departure Asia 2 hours before departure 60 minutes before departure Exceptions: Almaty 3 hours before departure Bangkok 3 hours before departure Beijing 3 hours before departure Delhi 4 hours before departure Jakarta 3 hours before departure Hong Kong 3 hours before departure Kuala Lumpur 3 hours before departure Mumbai 4 hours before departure South America 2 hours before departure 60 minutes before departure Exceptions: Sao Paolo 3 hours before departure Guayaquil 3 hours before departure Lima 3 hours before departure Paramaribo 4 hours before departure 120 minutes before departure Africa 2 hours before departure 60 minutes before departure Exceptions: Abuja 3 hours before departure Dar es Salaam 3 hours before departure Kano 3 hours before departure Lagos 4 hours before departure Valid from September 1 - October 25, 2003 flight & oper. travel flight & oper. travel flight & oper. travel days dep. arr. validity by time stop days dep. arr. validity by time stop days dep. arr. validity by time stop ABERDEEN SD (ABR) DELHI ALEXANDRIA LA (AEX) to 1234567 0815 0940 9W702 1:25 0 to JAMESTOWN 12345- 7 1945 2110 9W706 1:25 0 MEMPHIS TN 1234567 1045 1125 NW3318 XJ 0:40 0 GOA 1234567 0605 0736 NW2921 XJ 1:31 0 1234567 1030 1155 NW2793 XJ 1:25 0 MINNEAPOLIS/ST.

All rights reserved iv ABSTRACT The concept of strategic alternatives has received a lot of attention from scholars for a very long time now. Despite numerous studies in this area, interest has not faded away. To this end, the objectives of this study were to identify the determinants of strategic alternatives to better understand what drives airlines into such alliances and to identify factors that affect the performance of the alliances. The research was done through descriptive survey design, which involved all airlines with scheduled flights in and out of Kenya totaling thirty six (42). The target population was CEOs or senior managers within the airlines, which had response rate of 92.7%.

Those good results were supported by the good global economic environment particularly in the first half of the year. Unlike passenger traffic, air freight demand recorded a very weak performance in 2018 compared to 2017.

Acknowledgements I would like to express my deepest gratitude to Klaus Berberich for giving me an oppor- tunity to work under his guidance. This work is made possible with his unconditional support, expert scientific advice, and futuristic vision. However, the encouraging aspect of working under him was the exceptional freedom he granted to pursue challenging problems from various fields of information science (retrieval, summarization, and spatiotemporal text mining). In addition, our common interest in music that often triggered very interesting conversations made work even more enjoyable. I am extremely thankful to Gerhard Weikum for supporting me throughout my Master’sand Ph.D studies. His high standards of conducting research constantly inspired and trained me to become a better researcher. I also thank the additional reviewers and examiners, Dietrich Klakow and Claudia Hauff for providing valuable feedback for further improvements of this work. I acknowledge that this work would have not been possible without the influence, teachings, and guidance of several people.

Additionally, communication and coordination between air traffic offered proposals that aim to enhance control centers in oceanic regions pose challenges.

  • From the Airbus to the Spaceplane: the Future of Commercial Aviation
    From the Airbus to the Spaceplane: The Future of Commercial Aviation By William John Cox Theme: Global Economy, Science and Global Research, June 12, 2009 Medicine 12 June 2009 As commercial aviation becomes increasingly dependent upon computerized digital technology and less reliant upon hands-on human control, we have to consider the crash of Air France Flight 447 into the Atlantic Ocean, with the loss of all aboard, and other similar disasters in the light of our collective experience and expectations. The Comet First flown in 1949 and introduced into passenger service in1951, the Comet was the first pressurized, jet-propelled commercial aircraft. Powered by four “Ghost” turbojet engines, the Comet was found to be fuel efficient above 30,000 feet and flew at almost 500 miles per hour, far faster than the most advanced piston-powered airplanes in service at the time. England’s de Havilland Company rapidly gained a significant advantage in the commercial aircraft market, carrying more than 30,000 passengers and receiving orders for 30 Comets in the first year; however, serious problems with the innovative design quickly developed. Two crashes in the first year in Italy and Pakistan were likely caused by a defective wing profile design that resulted in a loss of lift during steep takeoffs. A series of catastrophic crashes followed. In 1953, structural failure of the airframe beginning with the stabilizer caused a Comet to crash shortly after takeoff in India. The Comet was equipped with fully powered flight controls that were criticized because they resulted in a loss of “feel” and may have caused excessive stress on the flight control surfaces.
